He's a pathetic fraud.
Alrighty then.

I think Trump showed that he cannot lead tonight. He couldn't answer most of the questions asking for specifics. He's opinionated but lacks gravitas.

Trump is gonna need more teleprompters than Obama.

He is a "disaster". All he can say is that "we're gonna win" " we gonna negotiate"

He said he is not running for the senate seat.

They did horrible with the previous debate with Wolf. They finally learned something.

I imagine Rubio has a backup plan. Governor perhaps? Who knows.

I think he is very talented. He is the same age as Cruz but looks a lot younger. It must be all the water he is drinking.

Heh. "We're gonna make deals."

"Waste, fraud, abuse."

But no specifics....

The thing is, I knew what he was trying to say but he was wholly unable to articulate it. I know he was trying to say that increasing GDP, income, and thus tax revenue as well as reducing our trade deficits and waste would ultimately have a cumulative effect and thus be able to save entitlement programs like SS. However, he didn't articulate it and if he can't speak intelligently about his position, how does he expect to legitimately broker extremely complex deals which require, fundamentally, the ability to articulate his plan?
